The Colts played with a lot of heart and made a lot of great plays throughout the match. Unfortunately, there were some passing, digging, hitting and serving errors that proved to be costly mistakes. These uncharacteristic mistakes allowed Moreau to score some easy points at crucial times in Games 1 and 4, which ultimately cost JLHS the match. Go Colts!

October 11Logan 3, Washington 0(25-18, 25-18, 25-15)

The Colts came out strong in Games 1 and 2 and held 8 to 9 point leads in both games. Washington rallied back to make both games close (within 2 and 3 points respectively), but Logan pulled away to win each of the games. In Game 3, the Colts started off very slowly and were tied 4-4 before beginning to pull away due to solid passing, good digging and smart hitting.

The Logan Middle Blockers were very effective both offensively and defensively, showing that all of the drills in practice are starting to pay dividends in the matches. The rest of the team was very solid in all aspects of the game and showed off their ball control that is a hallmark of the Colts volleyball program. Go Colts!

It felt a lot like a "Hot August Night" in the JLHS Pavilion on Thursday, however it was October 18th and it was an MVAL match to be remembered with the Colts winning the match 3-2. This win may end up being very instrumental as the Colts continue their quest to earn an at-large spot in the North Coast Section, Division I tournament at the end of the regular season.
